An indirect immunofluorescence test using a flow cytometer (FACS420) was useful for detection of antineutrophil antibodies (anti-NA2 antibodies) in a case of monozygous twins with alloimmune neonatal neutropenia. When high-dose intravenous gammaglobulin (300 mg/kg for five consecutive days) was given to one twin, the increase in neutrophils was not obvious. Although neutropenia persisted for about three months, no infections were observed in either of the twins.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
